THINTHREAD caught the eye on his second start for George Baker over 9f here last time and he remains feasibly treated on the pick of his French form. It would be no surprise if Bearish got back on the up after an underwhelming effort in a competitive race at York last week, while the reliable A Major Payne can be counted on to go well again.
